Zoho was new discovery for me. This site would be very beneficial to larger groups, businesses, and business owners. They did offer a free version to the individual or small group that would be useful for class projects or for personal documents. The most benefit of this site comes from the full host of group or business tools. To access these tools, customers must pay for these services and services provided are based upon the tier purchased. Documents could be added or created and edited by multiple users, separate groups could be managed and created within accounts, time sheets could be managed, and meetings can even be conducted through web conferencing.
Google docs and the free version of Zoho are very similar. Both allow for personal document creation and uploads and group sharing and communicating. Just based upon my my perusing of both sites, it looks like Zoho may offer more even in the free version as opposed to Google docs, but Google in itself offers more. I can connect to my blog, email, calendar, and documents all on the same site.
I am currently using Google Docs in another class for a group lesson plan. We are uploading and editing documents and communicating easily with each other. My own students would use it in the same manner. The virtual group can meet at any time and allow students to work on group projects without having to be together.
